What items is not part of the composition of the soil-like lunar regolith?
Water is not part of the composition of lunar regolith. Lunar regolith consists of a mixture of fine dust, rocks, and other materials found on the moon's surface, but lacks significant amounts of water.
What is the soil like layer on the Moon's surface?
Regolith.
What is the soil of the moon composed of?
Regolith
What is the soil like layer on the moon called?
Regolith.
What soil does Mercury have?
Mercury does not have soil like Earth does. Its surface is mostly covered with a thin layer of loose rock and dust, known as regolith. This regolith is heavily influenced by the impacts of asteroids and comets.

Regolith
What is the lunar surface made out of?
The lunar surface is primarily made of igneous rocks, such as basalt and anorthosite. It also contains regolith, which is a layer of loose rock, dust, and soil created by the impact of meteorites and micrometeorites. Additionally, there are deposits of minerals like ilmenite and pyroxenes.
Is the moon made of metamorphic rock?
No, the moon is not made of metamorphic rock. The moon's geology consists mainly of igneous rocks like basalt and anorthosite, as well as some breccias and regolith (lunar soil). Metamorphic rocks result from the transformation of existing rocks due to heat and pressure, which is not typical of the moon's composition.

If water were available would the soil on the moon retain life?
There's really several parts to this questions: * Is the soil on the moon toxic? No. Tests from samples returned by the Apollo missions showed that plants (on Earth) survived and thrived when small amounts of lunar regolith were sprinkled or rubbed on them -- they did not wither and die as some people feared they might. * If you put a seed in pure lunar regolith (on Earth, exposed to Earth's atmosphere, sunlight, etc.) and watered it appropriately, would it grow? It seems pretty likely, but no one knows for sure. Several scientists would like to try (see links below), but there is only a limited amount of lunar regolith available on Earth, and this experiment still hasn't gotten enough priority. * If you put a seed in pure lunar regolith on the moon, exposed to Luna's (lack of) atmosphere, would it grow? No, the water would need to be liquid, and for that an atmosphere with sufficient pressure is needed. Also, plants need CO2 to grow. * If you put a seed in pure lunar regolith on the moon, and somehow put a CO2 atmosphere around the seed and let in some sunlight, would it grow? Some people suspect it would grow just fine (see links below), but no one knows for sure. Another unknown: How will plants and animals will react to 15 earth-days of sunlight and 15 earth-days of night? Lots of creatures on earth seem to survive just fine with 6 months of sunlight and 6 months of night, so this doesn't seem to be an insurmountable hurdle.

What organisms have some aspect of their biology governed by lunar cycles?
Most often, sea life are the organisms that have some aspect of their biology governed by lunar cycles. This is because lunar cycles determine the strength of things like waves, and waves and other types of water movement can change the biological composition of sea life.
Is earth the only planet with soil?
No, other planets such as Mars also have soil-like material called regolith. However, the composition and properties of the soil on other planets may be different from that of Earth due to varying environmental conditions.
